  • Determinants of Citation in Epidemiological Studies on Phthalates: A Citation Analysis

    Open AccessMiriam J E Urlings, Bram Duyx et al.ARTICLEScience and Engineering Ethics2020

    Citing of previous publications is an important factor in knowledge development. Because of the great amount of publications available, only a selection of studies gets cited, for varying reasons. If the selection of citations is associated with study outcome this is called citation bias. We will study determinants of citation in a broader sense, including e.g. study design, journal impact factor or the funding source of the publication. As a cas…

  • Cancer Incidence of 2,4-D Production Workers

    Open AccessCarol J Burns, Kenneth M Bodner et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2011

    Despite showing no evidence of carcinogenicity in laboratory animals, the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has been associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in some human epidemiology studies, albeit inconsistently. We matched an existing cohort of 2,4-D manufacturing employees with cancer registries in three US states resulting in 244 cancers compared to 276 expected cases. The Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR) for the 14 NHL …

  • Advantages and disadvantages of an objective selection process for early intervention in employees at risk for sickness absence

    Open AccessSaskia F A Duijts, Saskia FA Duijts et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2007

    The study shows that objective selection of employees for early intervention is effective. Despite methodological and practical problems, selected employees are actually those at risk for sickness absence, who will probably benefit more from the intervention program than others

  • Risk of Depression and Anxiety in Employees With Chronic Bronchitis: The Modifying Effect of Cigarette Smoking

    Edwin J Wagena, Edwin Wagena et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2004

    OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluates whether smoking status modifies the association between chronic bronchitis and depression or anxiety in a population-based sample. Furthermore, we tested whether these associations are different in people without any respiratory complaints and those with asthma. METHODS: For this study, we used cross-sectional data form the Maastricht Cohort Study, a population-based cohort study among Dutch employees. RESUL…

  • Development of the chronic fatigue syndrome in severely fatigued employees: Predictors of outcome in the Maastricht cohort study

    Marcus J H Huibers, Marcus Huibers et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2004References: 27

    Study objective: To identify risk factors of the development of the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), the persistence or recurrence of fatigue, or recovery from fatigue in a large sample of fatigued employees. Design: Analyses were based on the Maastricht cohort study (MCS), a prospective population based cohort study among more than 12 000 employees. Multiple regression models were used to identify predictors of CFS-like caseness (meeting research…

  • Socioeconomic status and lung cancer incidence in men in The Netherlands: Is there a role for occupational exposure

    A J van Loon, R Alexandra Goldbohm et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1997Cited by: 1References: 13

    STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of occupational exposure to carcinogens in explaining the association between socioeconomic status and lung cancer. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study. Data on diet, other lifestyle factors, sociodemographic characteristics and job history were collected by means of a self administered questionnaire. Follow up for incident cancer was established by record linkage with a national pathology register and wi…
